Hello everyone and welcome to the sixth Winter ladder update! First of
all, this really isn't a "weekly" ladder update if there really wasn't
one last week, so I apologize for such an absence, but I was away from
home. Anyways, I would like to thank anyone who has suggested some
ideas from the last update and will consider a few for my future
updates. These updates are going to receive a big change in the future,
but first I’m just going to need a little more help on your guys’ end.
As for the update this week, there will be less info under the notes
section as an early change I am thinking about. I want to give you guys
more detail and fewer boring calculations. But anyways, lets get back
to focusing on what this update is meant for -- showing you all how the
Singles and Doubles ladder has progressed since the last week!

Singles Notes
- Atomsk takes his 1st place spot back from
dabuz, as he has not lost a match since the 6th of this month. In
dabuz's position, it doesn't really help that he suffered 2 losses in a
row! One to Ozz and another to YoshQ!
- HolyNightmare
is known to usually be in the top placings in every AllisBrawl ladder
season. He does it again and reaches the 2nd place spot, using his
main, R.O.B.
- Now
something we all haven't seen in a LONG time...a Donkey Kong player in
the top 32 since ook last season! He goes by the name of Dr. Grandpa
and is performing quite averagely as I can see, but just playing really
good people.
- These rankings were taken at 7:30 AM ET on Friday, February 19, 2010.
Doubles Notes
- What's this?! There is a new team that has
taken the 1st place spot and that would be "Da Dragonz!" This team
consists of Key and Inspectah, as mikeray4 and Bizkit have fallen to
4th place, being kicked off their throne for once!
- There
are also a lot more activity and new teams on the rankings and they
seem to not be playing around! I'm seeing a lot more good players from
singles teaming and entering doubles, getting ahead very quickly!
Tearbear and ChocoNaner, known as "flapjack and knuckles" used to team
in the last season and did exceptionally well. Now they are teaming
again and have made it to the top 16 already with 16 wins and 0 losses.
- Something fun that I can
spot is another team called "Da Dragon Slayerz," which consists of
Waft-OLi and Chad81 (formally known as Debom, who one of the last
season's champs). I am unsure if their objective is to actually defeat
the top team, or just surpass them. Maybe we will see soon!
Future Changes?
Now that the placings are shown and taken care of, I want to bring you
guys back to the changes I was mentioning at the beginning of the
update. As I said, these updates are going receive some major changes
and you as a community will be a big part of it! I know I asked for
suggestions last week, but still require a little bit of feedback from
whoever is willing to help me out! Here are a few things I took into
consideration and are thinking about:
-These “weekly” updates
may become bi-weekly or even monthlies. This would make each update
more to look forward to as the changes from the last update to the new
would have much more changes. What do you guys think? Should the
frequency of the updates change? Or should they remain weekly?
-Someone
suggested I should maybe add in player interviews with the top 32/16
and have one each article. Only question I have for you guys on this is
what questions would you guys expect to be asked? We have already
provided player interviews in the past. I have heard some were boring
and more interesting questions should be asked. I want to make these as
entertaining to you all as possible. Help me out here.
-I was
also interested in changing the notes section of the rankings. Reducing
the amount of statistics, increasing more detail. Maybe going into more
about certain players? What details would be nice to see?
-Adding
in some more fun features to the articles. Maybe adding in featured
replays from your ladder matches? Finding some funny feedback that some
angry people leave on your profiles? Suggestions?
-Any other
details I should be more into? Any suggestions help that would provide
a better form of new entertainment for you all to read. Just be serious
please.
So this is all I have on my mind right now. Your
answers will influence my thoughts on the changes for the updates. I
would be VERY appreciative if you all provide some feedback on here and
maybe add in thoughts of your own. I just don’t want these articles to
just be another boring thing to look at on the front page. I want this
to be entertaining for you guys! The wi-fi scene of Brawl may not be as
hyped as offline, but it is still something that can be very much fun!
Thank you all for any help and feedback I receive.
There is a over a month left in this ladder season, and the competition
is just as fierce as ever! Remember the AllisBrawl playoffs await the
top 60 of singles and 30 of doubles, each event giving out over $350 in
cash prizes to the top 4 placings! Everyday the rankings change and new
names reach the top, as older ones drop. Who will still remain at the
end of the season to participate in the playoffs? No one knows! Until
then, we would like to congratulate the top 32 players and 16 teams in
reaching your respective placings thus far! Until next time everyone!
